AMX Now Shipping Alero 8 Zone Distributed Audio Power Amplifier

Denver, CO (PRWEB) September 11, 2014

HARMAN’s AMX announced at CEDIA EXPO 2014 the immediate global availability of its Alero 8 Zone Power Amplifier (ALR-AMP-8). Alero stands out as a top choice for end users and integrators by combining a stellar, multi-room residential distributed audio listening experience and a compact single rack unit (1RU) height, freeing up more rack space for increased installation options.

Whether listening to music in the living room, the kitchen or outdoors, Alero redefines multi-room distributed audio with 16 channels of audiophile quality sound. Featuring highly efficient, Class D amplifier technology, Alero also significantly reduces environmental impact by using less active power, using less standby power and requiring no external cooling sources to lower power consumption even further. And unlike linear power regulation used in Class AB amplifiers, Alero Class D amplification employs switching transistors, resulting in significantly less energy loss.

When designing Alero, AMX asked its integrators which features were most important to include and aside from top notch sound quality, the general consensus was for a smaller than typical footprint to make Alero ideal for installation in already overcrowded equipment racks. AMX researched the possibility and the result is Alero’s compact 1RU chassis that offers never-before-seen versatility and practically limitless installation options.

To ensure a completely unified, whole-home distributed audio source switching and amplification solution, Alero perfectly complements the AMX Precis DSP Distributed Audio Matrix Switcher. AMX is demonstrating the Alero Power Amplifier at the 2014 CEDIA EXPO, September 11 – 13 in HARMAN Booth #176.
